Multiple bot, one nodejs process (help needed)

[wisdomabioye]

I'm setting up multiple bot in one nodejs process. I need help on how to go about this I'm setting webhook for each bot from another application so I'm not using this library bot.setWebhook(url, options)

How can I refactor this code to work well? Is there a better way to do this?

index.js

app.post('*', function(req, res){
        //catches all request to bot, extract the API token and fetch configuration from DB
	//req.url.substring(1) is the token for the bot requested
	bots.findOne({token:req.url.substring(1)})
	.exec(function(err, conf){
		/*
                //Sample conf
                 {
		    "twitterUsername": "twurl_test",
		    "token": "697129:tYe_mJpjCvs",
		    "botUsername": "vps_svr",
		    "allowInfoUpdate": false,
		    "webhookUrl": "https://example.io/697129:tYe_mJpjCvs",
		    "paused": false
		}*/
                if(err){
			console.log(err);
			return;
		}
		let bot = require('./factory/vps')(conf);	
		bot.processUpdate(req.body);
		res.sendStatus(200);
	})
})

How can I implement an instance of a Telegram bot that listen and respond to event in vps.js Currently, this bot works but sometimes fail to respond to request.

vps.js

const TelegramBot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');
const helpers = require('./helpers');
module.exports = function(config){
	const bot = new TelegramBot(config.token);
	if(config.paused){
		//config.paused == true;
		console.log('Service is currently paused');
		return;
	}
	//*************************//
	//*****Bot Commands********//
	//*************************//
	bot.onText(/\/start/, (msg) => {
	  helpers.createRecord(msg);
	});
	//send message and get reply
	//*************************//
	//******Other Messages*****//
	//*************************//
	bot.on('text', async (msg) => {
	  let userId = msg.from.id;
	  let username = msg.username;
	  let msgId = msg.chat.Id;
	  let receivedMsg = msg.text.toLowerCase();
	
	  if(await helpers.isPrivate(msg)){
	      //check the message received
	      switch(receivedMsg){
	        case "⁉️help":
	        case "help":
	            helpers.sendPrivateMessage(msg,"instruction");
	          break;
	        case "about":
	        	helpers.sendPrivateMessage(msg,"aboutMsg");
	          break;   
	      }//end switch  
	  }
	});

	//handle all webhook error
	bot.on('webhook_error',(error)=>{
	  console.log('Webhook Error catched>>> ',error);
	});
	
	return bot;
}

Your logic seems to be on the right track.

.. but sometimes fail to respond to request

Could you describe what exactly happens. Any logs that you could capture.
